The sad thing is that there is no political incentive to have a paid rural fire fighting service - there's not enough votes out there to buy. We'll face more and worse summers of fires but it's not until a major town is threatened that anything will actually change.
So you're saying the ADF needs to land a Taipan in central Canbra? /s
Some explosives training might do the trick as well https://www.9news.com.au/national/defence-admits-starting-nsw-fire-report/9e40d367-9860-4d9d-a17c-9c628b5b1f4f
